Bunzaburo

Shibori is the Japanese art of resist-dyeing. Material, traditionally silk, is bound with thread, dyed, then heat set to create striking effects.

Bunzaburo is a third generation shibori workshop in Kyoto.  Each piece by them is a demonstration of meticulous craft and a unique work of art.  Still photographs barely begin to represent the lively dance of these pieces.

Tamaki Niime

Tamaki Niime revels in colour. Her pieces, primarily cotton, some of it grown around her factory deep in the countryside of Japan, are glorious to behold. Her gauze scarves, in 3 sizes, woven on vintage cast-iron looms, represent a thoroughly contemporary Japanese aesthetic.  We first carried her scarves but now too, the selection has grown to include a great arm warmer, sweaters, skirts, and more. Think gift.
